Light and Shadows

Our dining room is my favorite spot in our house.  A place of convergence at all times of day to both create and eat.  During the evening hours of spring and…

    The first bouquet

    June 13, 2022 /

    It’s always such a treat when there’s finally enough blooming/growing for the first bouquet of the season. It might not be the vibrant colors of late summer, but it’s a dainty and lovely (and wonderfully scented) addition to our table. Bouquet contents: Feverfew, bachelor’s button, snapdragon, cilantro, yarrow. The little bouquet of lavender is hanging to dry.

    The Goodness

    June 8, 2022 /

    It’s so much easier to taste and see that the Lord is good in summer. The daisies are blooming alongside the road, and soon it will be the ditch lilies followed by the goldenrod and asters of late summer. Though there’s not much yet I can go out to the garden and literally eat things that grew from tiny seeds. What a miracle that alone is!

    The smell of strawberry pie wafts through the air, freshly pulled from the oven and cooking on the butcher block for slicing after supper. She requested the pie after we brought home 30 pounds of freshly picked strawberries the day before.

    The risk of education

    May 19, 2022 /

    I heard the rumble of a larger truck going up our road and as I looked out beyond the deck saw that it was a local school bus. I smiled to myself and chuckled that my two school aged boys are learning more lessons here at home hauling these logs than they ever could during a day at traditional school.

    A beautiful life

    May 17, 2022 /

    I sat outside this morning because I want to use the beautiful spaces God has given us better. I finally got the deck cleaned off and situated for summer over the weekend, so I thought I should pretend like every day is vacation and go read scripture on the red couch with my side of coffee and vitamin D.
